Foundational Demand Generation Strategies

An ongoing discussion within most revenue-driven businesses is how to align the sales and marketing teams, potentially the biggest opportunity for improving business performance today. The key to creating this synergy is the effective use of a Sales Development Team (SDRs), who qualify marketing-generated leads and deliver them to the Account Executives.
The SDRs are often the first point of contact for the business so they need to know the right messages, ways to overcome objections, and enough information about the product and the market to sound plausible on the phone. Many of these things aren’t really the domain of the sales organisation, so this is where it falls on Marketing to give the proper amount of sales enablement.
Join James Brett, BrightTALK's SDR EMEA Manager, as he discusses aligning the SDR team and Marketing to work towards a common vision and working together to keep the relationship successful.
